so Bush comes in and fumbles

he and dmac are both at -0.8 in my game

Wow am I regretting starting Bush. Note to self, prime matchups are not a positive for any OAK players. Meanwhile Portis is still average on my bench.

Cushing with a safety!!! Whole defense swarmed on that play!

Yeah with a team as bad as Oakland there is no such thing as a prime matchup. Or, at least it works in the reverse way. The only vulnerability they can exploit is the garbage-time defense, so you look for teams that can wipe them and then give up stats in the 4th quarter.

And Jacoby jones runs it back!!!

td return on the free kick...the raiders are a complete joke

 

[ScottyFargo]

Anyone (except for another player from the raiders) is a better start than DMC.

I remember in the preseason that at least one thought on how their offense would work was that McFadden would be a little a Reggie Bush, catching passes in space rather than getting all of his touches on the ground, and that Bush would get at least as many carries if not more. Based on what I saw from them in the preseason and the stats so far this season, it seems to be the opposite. Bush now has more catches, and McFadden mostly gets the ball on the ground. I'm wondering why doesn't Bush get the ball between the tackles more?

 

[Buckna]

Argh Jacoby Jones! You are either stellar or terrible, there is no in between. Drives me crazy.

Houston LB'ers laying the wood today

[MSULions]

Russell 11/30...good god.

 

[Buckna]

Super Mario!!! Sack, stripped, turnover.

 

[No. 16]

Damn.

I benched Pierre Thomas for DMC because of the Texans defense. You are not exiled to the bench Mr. DMC.

Houston offense hasn't done much of anything this half, they don't need to.Edit: announcers just said Houston has only attempted 5 passes in the 2nd half

Why did Oakland just punt when they are down 23 with 7 minutes left? Talk about just giving up. Al Davis should be forced to sell that team. That organization is an embarrassment to the league. I really feel bad for their fans. Just a total aura of dysfunction and loser all of that team.
